John, Well thank God I was raised and so gently exposed to the trauma of The WW2 movies containing actual footage of war. The Hollywood Cowboy and Indians/ Bogart-Cagney gangsta flicks. While Korea was in swing, it was play army or any of a dozen style battles in the neighborhood. Once old enough for the draft, there was no amazement for me at home or over in Nam that ones life might be taken at any moment. Traumatized....Heck no, just aware of real life. I get traumatized while I watch the grand kids giggle as they feed newborn mice to their pet snakes.
